Thanks for the response.
And now, Panic button! I have to solve this today. Please let me know
how I can achieve this.
My XML input is a nested list as shown below. I need to generate a
unique id on each of the list1, list2 and list3 elements in one
transform. Per your explanation, using generate-id() could result in
the same id on both the <list2> elements.
So what can I do to ensure that a seperate id is generated for every
<list2>, <list3> <list1> element in one file? It cannot be repeated
for any of them?
<list1>
<list2>
<list3>
</list3>
<list3>
</list3>
<list3>
</list3>
</list2>
<lis2>
</list2>
</list1>

Is this correct?
Yes. And it is guaranteed to generate always the same ID when
called on the same node. The typical example is the creation of
a table of content: you pass through the entire document in a
first pass, in a mode dedicated to generating the ToC, using
generate-id on say, the section elements, to generate links to
the sections; then you pass through the entire document a second
time, to format the actual content, setting on each section the
same ID used in the ToC (by calling generate-id again on the
section elements).
